Employee Engagement Impacts Brand Value According to Performance Improvement Council's White Paper
NAPERVILLE, Ill., June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Calling on companies to "awaken the sleeping giant" of employee engagement in order to "catalyze their brand," the Performance Improvement Council (PIC) of the Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) highlights the strong connection between engaging employees and strengthening the power of the brand in a white paper entitled, Employee Engagement and Its Impact on Brand Value.
Reflecting on the significance of the paper, PIC member Jerry Klein, who is also director of Solution Design Strategy at Maritz, said, "We know that engaged employees are committed, motivated and create better customer experiences, allowing companies to strengthen their brand and their bottom line."
According to the paper's author, PIC member Louise Anderson, who is president and CEO of Anderson Performance Improvement, "The paper points out that companies that actively engage employees and publicize best practices, move toward their strategic goals, and create the 'ignition point' from which brand building efforts can begin, will accelerate and register measurable improvement."
The paper concludes that "a company's brand value and its financial strength are inextricably bound to the engagement level of its workers," and poses the question, "how can any company NOT pursue having an engaged workforce?"
